"Fiber optic adapters" sounds like they simply convert the fiber optic input to an analog output. If that's the case, you're not getting the sound quality a full fiber optic output would provide.

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel more comfortable going with a brand name aftermarket audio manufacturer like Alpine that’s been around for decades and has lots of end user testing to ensure it will “do no harm.”

I felt like it's well worth experimenting at 300 bucks and good reviews, and in the end extremely happy with the results. I no longer feel like driving a 20 year old car, while it still looks more or less stock:

I certainly understand that. But in modern world those old-world brands often are too slow to react to changes. Those alpine units look a bit outdated IMO, and that empty panel real estate, gives away that it's not stock for AR person like me. And, most of all, I firm believer that volume should be regulated by physical ****. Not any kind of buttons. Buttons for volume is a show stopper for me.
